What do you think of this:
typeof(return) foo(int x) { return x; }
? That would only infer the return type, not the attributes.
I don't actually have an opinion on whether attributes should
be
inferred, but '@auto' (as opposed to '@infer') would be a
relatively
innocuous way to do it explicitly instead of implicitly.
And this can apply to whole scopes.
Yeah, that's true... 'typeof(return):' would not look good at the
top of a file. I feel like this feature is attempting to turn on
a vacuum, seeing how many explicit things can be sucked into the
implicit vortex. I think the gold medal would be if there were a
way to do everything implicitly, but some things may resist being
sucked in, and for good reason. The syntax '@auto' seems like a
bronze medal solution, so I'd be glad to see it lose to something
better.
